Martinsville to hold preschool round up

MARTINSVILLE -- Each year the Martinsville school district and Project H.E.L.P. offer parents the opportunity to discover how their child is developing in the areas of speech, language, concepts and motor skills. Vision and hearing screenings are also provided, free of charge.

This year's screenings for birth-5 years of age, along with kindergarten pre-registration, will be Feb. 7 and 8 at Martinsville Bible Church, 509 Ridgelawn Road.

For an appointment, call Sheena Hammond, 217-382-4116. Signed parent/guardian permission is required and kindergarten-bound children will need a copy of their birth certificate, social security number, immunization records, lead screening and emergency contact numbers. Dental and vision exams will be accepted if available.
